they was involved in preparing legal defenses for the president's health care law as early as january 2010. two full months before the mandate was a law. imagine that. preparing to defend a bill that is not even a law yet. i think someone was a little worried. given the past involvement, kagan ruling on obama care is like a football coach leaving the football game at half time and returning in the second half as the referee. i don't like that idea either. kagan made the coaching calls to involve the department of justice in the case. she hand picked her own political deputies to manage the case defending obama care. kagan read the administration's playbook as her team of lawyers e-mailed her about the arguments they would use in court. title 28. chapter 455-b requires recusal in any case where a judge or justice has served in governmental employment and in such capacity participated as counsel. that includes justice kagan. that describes justice kagan. she knows the law. she has recused herself in 25 of the first 26 cases. yet for some reason she seems intent to rule on obama care.

we don't have a problem telling people with our defense budget. but helping the needy is where we should be. that's what the bible proclaims. these teavangelicals should be able to see that what they call obamacare is helping this country. guest: i have to tell you, one of the things that we address in the book has to do with paul ryan's budget and the moral implications on the positive and negative side. teavangelicals believe it is a moral thing to do that if you know you are headed off a cliff, let people know that it's coming and we need to make cuts. look what's going on in spain. drastic cuts need to happen right away because nothing was done in the past. paul ryan and other and teavangelicals make that argument, that it's the most moral, compassionate thing to do to let people know we may be cutting your benefits drastically in the next five, 10, 15 years, so we are going to insist on a little so that we can ease you into that rather than drop you off a cliff. there is moral reasoning behind what teavangelicals believes. host: this on twitt
